Ferrochromium (Ferrochrome) Product Introduction

Ferrochromium is an iron alloy composed of chromium and iron, and is an indispensable alloy additive in the steelmaking and foundry industries. We specialize in the international trade of ferrochromium products. Our products strictly comply with the national standard GB/T 5683-2024 and are available in a variety of grades and specifications to meet customer requirements.

I. Product Overview

Ferrochromium is a master alloy of iron and chromium with a minimum chromium content of 45.0% and a maximum of 95.0% by mass, obtained by reduction from the corresponding raw materials. Chromium is chemically stable and highly corrosion-resistant, making ferrochromium widely used in metallurgy, chemical engineering, cast iron, refractories, and high-tech applications.

Based on carbon content, ferrochromium is classified into the following categories: High Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon 4%~10%), Medium Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon 0.5%~4%), Low Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon 0.15%~0.50%), and Extra-Low Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon ≤0.06%). The chromium content of ferrochromium generally ranges from 55% to 75%.
